Method
1

Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

5

Pour the marinade into the bag and gently massage to coat. Set aside.

6

Grill chicken: Spray the grates with non-stick cooking spray. Place chicken on grill and grill until cooked through and the jerk marinade has blackened and caramelized in spots, turning halfway through (internal temperature of 165 degrees).
